Тебе, моя последняя любовь [Tebe, moya poslednyaya lyubovʹ] [English translation]

My last love is for you.

I put a slightly yellow photo into an envelope:

A naive look, a slightly raised brow,

And the curvatures of the lips that were never kissed.

Keep this photo on your working desk

Where you keep the notes of your unfinished melodies,

And tell to your chronically jealous wife,

"It's been a whole year since her haircut came out of fashion."

And the antiquity of the photo,

And the mystery of her eyes like those of Marina Vlady (a french actress)

Will confirm that even the trace of that girl has long since vanished,

And the photo is just a hello from youth.

Keep this photo on your working desk

Where you keep the notes of your unfinished melodies,

And tell to your chronically jealous wife,

"It's been a whole year since her haircut came out of fashion."

Keep this photo on your working desk

Where you keep the notes of your unfinished melodies,

And tell to your chronically jealous wife,

"It's been a whole year since her haircut came out of fashion."
